How I did it: I had to clear 4 rounds of interviews... including a swimming test and a check for visible scars (tatoos included) if we had the uniform on. I cleared all 4 rounds with a breeze... and went straight through after Junior College. Then it was 3 months of full-time training on service, safety onboard aircrafts, grooming and deportment, and food and wine appreciation. Once we graduated, I was off jet-setting the world... albeit as a high-class waitress with first-aid skills in an exotic and alluring Asian uniform! Staying at five-star hotels and getting snippets of sight-seeing on every long-haul flight was such an adventure! It was exciting and a real eye-opener... It made me realize how lucky I am to have this life... because there is poverty and suffering on the streets in almost every city in the world... and it made me aware of the hunger in the world.
